Chapter 12: One Day in Ten Thousand Homes
"This year's fruit is much sweeter than last year's. Tang Xiaoyu ate pomelo and did not forget to summarize.
Wan Ling, who was sitting together, agreed, her pomelo was full of moisture, sweet and slightly sour, and the appearance was excellent, which was really different from what she had eaten before: "Sister, tell the truth to my sister." She put down the grapefruit in her hand, looked up at the pomelo tree with fruit for a long time, it was indeed her own, and looked down at Tang Xiaoyu very seriously.
"What?"
"Are you a disciple of that immortal? Wanling has had this absurd idea more than once, after all, since Tang Xiaoyu entered her family, she has been begging for benevolence all the way, and even the pomelo that bears bitter fruit has become sweet: "You don't know, this grapefruit tree has been planted for 20 years, and it bears bitter fruits." β
"No matter how my mother raises it, she can't produce sweet grapefruit. "Her mother planted a tree but wanted to blossom and bear fruit, to please a good idea, there are flowers but no fruit or the fruit withering is not a good omen, such a sign has not only become the mother's heart knot, but also Wanling's.
Countless times Wan Ling knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, and secretly asked: Did their Wan family do something wrong, so God treated them so kindly. The clouds of sorrow have been shrouded in Wanling's heart for more than ten years, until Tang Xiaoyu suddenly appeared, she no longer asked the sky speechlessly, Xiaoyu must be a response from God, a kind of favor.
"Sister, don't you know how to plant well, you don't promote flowers and don't protect fruits, and you pollinate your own plants, so it's strange if you don't feel bitter. "Planting things is not a one-size-fits-all approach, the subtle differences between grapefruit varieties also affect the management of the later stage, Mrs. Wan is a good hand at raising chrysanthemums, but planting grapefruit, Tang Xiaoyu really dare not compliment.
Moreover, the grapefruit tree is not common in paddy field town, there is one in Wanjianan Garden, and there is one in front of the old lady's house, all of which have more flowers and fewer fruits, and no one cares about it, and gradually it has become an ornamental plant from a fruit tree.
Speaking of which, Wanjia's grapefruit tree changed from a landscape tree back to a veritable fruit tree, or Wanling was pregnant with a tiger, and Tang Xiaoyu became a guest of honor in Wanjia, and it was she who ended their tragic fate of ornamenting trees.
Tang Xiaoyu is interested in grapefruit trees, and she doesn't like to eat them much, but in her fragmentary memories, there is actually a grapefruit cultivation technique, and she is also surprised when she thinks about it.
Relying on memory, Tang Xiaoyu transformed the grapefruit tree behind him, opened the skylight, applied fertilizer, and cut the branches and trunks to protect the fruit in ten days after flowering; now this grapefruit tree has matured, as a fruit tree that has completed correspondence undergraduate education, it has learned to use science to break superstition, and has produced the sweet fruit of scientific cultivation and management.
Tang Xiaoyu's words, Wan Ling was still confused, but it is undeniable that the grapefruit has indeed become sweet: "You know so much, there is always a master to teach, maybe your master is a master." β
"I don't know who he is?" Tang Xiaoyu remembered how to plant grapefruit trees, but she didn't remember who taught her.
"There's always a name. β
"No surname. β
Wan Ling put down the grapefruit in his hand, and had a deflated expression on his face: "Called, no surname? β
"There are too many people called nameless, and my master is a little ingenious, so he is called nameless. β
"Really, quite really, special. β
After Tang Xiaoyu finished eating the grapefruit, he left the peel for the fragrant pear to take to cook and eat: "Sister, the spies we sent to keep an eye on Ming Jian have not always had letters back, do you still keep them?"
"Keep it, you have to see. β
"Yes. β
It was Tang Xiaoyu's idea to let people stare at Ming Jian, at that time she did not dig deep into the conspiracy behind Feng Sheng's death, and only thought that Yun Zhenlou was selling his reputation and seeking money and killing him.
Now it seems that murdering the officials of the court and stealing money is not as simple as the Jianghu sect collecting money.
Tang Xiaoyu came back with a box of letters, and carefully looked through them one by one, Baili Jihai, who was lying beside her, couldn't read the letters, so she could only pull the corners of her clothes, sleep and wake up, wake up and sleep, wake up again, the house was lit with candles, the sky was already dark, he was hungry, so he shook Tang Xiaoyu's legs, the other party folded the letter in his hand, looked at him and said: "Wake up, wake up and eat." β
"Xiao Yi, fragrant pear, set the meal. Tang Xiaoyu called outside, and Xiao Yi immediately responded.
Baili Ji was injured near his shoulder blades, and the doctor told him not to move his arms, and he had to rely on people to feed him, because he was not wearing a shirt, Xiangli could only stay outside, and the matter of feeding fell on Xiao Yi's head.
"Auntie, drink some soup to cushion your stomach. Xiao Yi skillfully scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it twice, and sent it to Baili Jihai's mouth, but he didn't speak: "Little aunt, what's wrong?"
"Hall Master, what's wrong with my sister-in-law. Xiao Yi tried a few more times, Baili Jihai was still sitting obediently, Tang Xiaoyu, who was eating happily, stopped her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Yi, she ate dinner at the round table, and people who should not be active put a small table on the Luohan bed to eat.
Obviously, with such an arrangement, only Tang Xiaoyu ate with relish, Baili Jihai's little daughter-in-law lowered her head like a little daughter-in-law, the food particles on the small case did not move, and Xiao Yi, who was at a loss by him, looked at her nervously.
"He's fine, it's probably because he drank the medicine and bitter his tongue, and he has no appetite. After she comforted Xiao Yi, she immediately received a complaining little look from Baili Jihai, Tang Xiaoyu shook an eye knife over, and the guy immediately deflated his mouth and continued to play the poor, helpless, and little quail that wanted to eat.
It's reasonable not to eat, Tang Xiaoyu is not used to him.
Xiao Yi put down the soup bowl, he is a clever person, and he can understand it at one point: "Then I will go with Xiangli to stew a cup of lily and pear soup for my little aunt." After saying that, the person left the inner room and smoothed the fragrant pear out.
Xiangli, who was taken away by involuntarily, turned back frequently, and she didn't know what was going on: "Xiao Yi, what are we running?"
"Hey, the hall master said that he wanted to eat lily and pear soup, and it was not early, so I was not in a hurry to stew. Xiao Yi quickened his pace, and the two of them walked down the stairs from the second floor, and when they arrived at the patio, Xiangli was annoyed, Liu Mei frowned and glared at the brute, and then shook off Xiao Yi's hand vigorously.
She rubbed her slightly aching wrist and muttered, "What nonsense, I won't leave myself." β
Xiao Yi was thrown off, unable to contain his strength, the person also fell a few steps forward, almost fell to the dog gnawing mud, he swayed left and right to stabilize his body, turned his head and complained with a face for the rest of his life: "How do you say stop, stop, don't say hello, you have a grudge against me?"
"Not before, but now there is. Pear was angry.
"Ouch, where did I offend my aunt and grandmother, tell me about it. β
"You see, my hands are red. Xiangli showed a piece of her wrist, but the night was dark and the wind was high, so she couldn't look at anything carefully, but Xiao Yi still took care of it, and glanced at her wrist with wide eyes.
After looking at it for a long time, he burst out with a sentence: "It's too dark to see clearly." β
"Who do you say is black? My nickname is Tofu Shih Tzu!"
Xiao Yi laughed, Xiangli glared at him again, Xiumu could spew fire, Xiao Chili exploded, Xiao Yi pursed his mouth, and he didn't dare to laugh too obviously, for fear of provoking a meal of flower fist embroidery legs, he coughed and cleared his throat.
He said: "I said it was too dark for me to see clearly, or I would wait for the sun to come out." β
"Think beautifully!" She quickly withdrew her hand and hid it behind her back.
"So what do you want. β
"Not good, dodge. Xiangli snorted coldly, pushed him away, and strode towards the kitchen, Xiao Yi licked her smiling face, followed step by step, and teased her from time to time: "Xiangli, do you know, your eldest sister and the cook of the women's school are getting better." β
"Cook, the one surnamed Zhu!"
"Yes, I saw Brother Zhu go to the matchmaker, you don't know. β
"The one surnamed Zhu is three years younger than my sister!"
"The female junior holds the gold bricks, anyway, your sister is broken off from there, and the marriage has nothing to do with it, and Brother Zhu is still the first marriage. β
The two of you say a word to me, and there is a match and a match.
There was no such harmony in the wing room on the second floor, Tang Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks, came to Luohan's bedside, and pushed the meal in front of someone with a straight face: "Why don't you eat." She was condescending, he tilted his head, his face was full of innocence, his pink cheeks bulged as if he wanted to be angry, and he didn't dare to be a demon because of her coercion.
Tang Xiaoyu bent her fingers and knocked on the small case, and angrily snorted at the meal, Baili Jihai raised her hand and gestured, she looked at the gesture and translated it word by word: "You said that Xiao Yi spit Xingzi fell into the bowl?" so you don't want to eat it." β
Baili Jihai nodded vigorously, and pushed the food away, Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, thinking about how she didn't find out that he actually had a cleanliness habit before, they were in the mountains for five years, lack of resources, and he didn't dislike it with a bath cloth, and it was really difficult to go from luxury to thrift, now there is chicken soup to drink, and I suspect that people blow into it, why don't you dislike it when you eat roast duck.
"I'll feed you. Anyway, she was full of food, and there would be supper later, and she couldn't be hungry, Tang Xiaoyu replaced the chicken soup, sat down next to Luohan's bed and fed him, Baili Jihai grinned, revealing two tiger teeth, stupid, and this kind of low posture of begging for candy, Tang Xiaoyu snorted, reluctantly repeated Xiao Yi's work, scooped a spoonful of soup and fed it to this person's mouth.
He took the soup spoon in his mouth with a beautiful face, and drank the soup up, Tang Xiaoyu said to him while feeding the soup: "When your wound scabs, let's go to meet the people of Yunyunlou, no matter how you say it, it is related to your life experience, you have to know whether you like it or not." β
Baili Jihai swallowed the chicken soup in his mouth, shook his head, and gestured with his hand in front of him, Tang Xiaoyu didn't raise his eyes, put down the soup bowl, and replaced it with food: "I know you don't care, but I want to use that Ming sword, all you have to do is stand by my side, and you don't need anything else." β
"What's wrong?" Tang Xiaoyu put a spoonful of food against Baili Jihai's lips, he pursed his mouth and didn't speak, Tang Xiaoyu glared at him, this person just didn't eat it, she read a lot of letters without reading, how could she have the kung fu to coax a 188 plus big child, love to eat or not, Tang Xiaoyu turned around and left.
The atmosphere is completely stiff, when there is a hard to speak, the other party is the kind of situation that does not care much about himself, the one who loves first always has to suffer a little more grievances, Baili Jihai at the moment when Tang Xiaoyu turned around, his heart was sour and astringent, he was afraid to see the people in Yunyunlou, because his father was unwilling to reveal what would happen next, Baili Jihai became a blind and headless fly in the face of the future after losing the ability of the system.
Even if he knew that Bai Li'e, the landlord of Yun Ji Lou, was set to be the role of his biological father, but in Bai Li Ji Hai's heart, it was just a paper man-like existence, so when he knew that Ming Jian was from Yun Yan Lou, he first felt scared, because the fictitious existence was materialized, and Xiao Yu was very likely to hand himself over because of the exchange of interests.
Tang Xiaoyu, who washed his hands, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, copied the remaining letters, turned his back to the Luohan bed, and continued to read next to the lampstand, the letters were all running accounts, and he wrote about them for more than four years, and wrote down the people Ming Jian had seen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as well as the things he did in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, which made her strange that Yun Yanlou's secret pile in the Northern Zhou Dynasty actually poisoned the Ming Sword, and the Ming Sword was still in great trouble and avoided it.
It was also this poisoning incident that made the spies of the Cao Gang take in Ming Jian by mistake, heh, it was really a coincidence. According to the report of the spies, Ming Jian's return to the Southern Jin Dynasty was not the meaning of Baili E, but the fiancΓ©e of Baili Jiyun, Ji Yishi.
The system said that Yun Yanlou was going to come to take the blood of Baili Jihai, and it seems from the statement on the letter that the matter of taking the blood of the heart was led by Ji Yishi, and Baili E secretly supported, the plot is very strange, the hostess is loved, and while the male protagonist is highly poisoned, on the other hand, the male protagonist's twin brother is raised to treat him with medicine, and from the beginning to the end, the female protagonist is to use other people's lives to fill her mistakes.
Is it possible to have a golden finger to do evil and build one's happiness on the basis of taking the lives of others?
She was thinking about it, her back suddenly sank, someone leaned up, Tang Xiaoyu knew who it was, she folded the letter, and said impatiently to the person who was stuck behind her: "What's the matter." β
It's not good to lie down if you're injured, you should eat or not, like Lin Daiyu all day long, you have to look at the moon and sigh at every little thing, Tang Xiaoyu really wants to ask Baili Jihai, can he change his hypocrisy, she is about to start breaking through, so let's live together for ten years, there is always a basic understanding between each other, she is focused on her career, can't he be a good partner with blue sleeves and understanding.
In the past, she was still in the mood to coax him, after all, the fate of the two people was tied together, this time Tang Xiaoyu did not relent, and turned a blind eye to the koala-like person on his back.
